She places mid to senior level candidates across the breadth of Finance, as well as senior requirements which includes Finance Directors and CFOs. She began her career at Twenty back in August 2017 having gained a degree in International Business Management and Spanish from Northumbria University. To Hannah ambition means having the drive, self-belief and motivation to succeed, “not just achieving your goals but absolutely smashing them”. An eclectic fact about her is that she is left handed and green eyed – extremely rare, as less than 0.25% of the world’s population are!

Daniel came to twenty with quite a resume under his belt. He was Head of Offshore Executive Search for the Caribbean’s premier firm based in the Cayman Islands, creating the department from scratch. He’s now working at twenty as an Associate Director in the Austin branch, focusing primarily on the growth of the company in Texas. “It isn’t good enough to love who you are. Striving to be the best version of yourself and loving who or what you could become is a much better lesson,” is an ambition mantra he believes in. Daniel is pretty eclectic, in that he consciously doesn’t own a TV and hasn’t had a Facebook account in 5 years. “life’s too short”!
